China's Evergrande halts trading amid reports of detained bosses
  • A public statement “z is detained for y” is generally expected compared to the usual “no one has seen x from china lately, they probably got held by the govt”

    ‘Modern cars are a privacy nightmare,’ the worst Mozilla’s seen
  • It looks to be based on user ratings (for the sort), and could change dynamically

    Likely a lot of people dog piled on Tesla, then read the others.

    The Tesla one’s main issue is “they grab a lot of data and don’t seem competent protecting it” which is less bad than “we will sell your sexual history if we can grab it from the car, and have a lot of sensors too”

    Um... has anyone successfully made an Oathbreaker Paladin with the Dark Urge character? Maybe spoilers?
  • You got me curious enough to try to understand the mechanics of what you mean, since I thought if you already were oathbreaker there’s no problem

    I see one post from someone saying the oathbreaker knight can aggro you, depending on which camp you rest at. Most will be fine, but some place the knight close enough to be angry

    Is that your issue?

    (Audio of the) Mandatory meeting after Madison's departure from LMG.
  • It’s not ideal in a few ways, but I think the bigger thing here is at least one employee is willing to risk their job to prove that they agree with her and use the recording as identity proof

    Russia spreading false claims about Qur’an burnings to harm NATO bid, says Sweden
  • I do appreciate seeing more perspectives, but Lemmygrad is open that they don’t intent to push things in good faith.

    I will say that the more socialist (than I’m used to) lemmy.ml has been interesting, but the lemmygrad spots are a silly but dangerous echo chamber

    The back-to-office backfire: Companies ending WFH perks lose out on top talent, who view flexible work as equivalent to an 8% raise
  • I agree with almost everything hog say, and strongly think WFH is the future and worth the costs.

    But I think physical security concerns are a fair one for some companies to hold for WFH, if they handle sensitive data where leaking is a concern.

  • I have a fresh install of windows 11, though this was an issue with win10 too. I also have an OLED monitor.

    I have to always turn the monitor off entirely when not using it unless I shut down the computer- otherwise, windows will leave the screen on, even when locked (and even if I initially sleep it completely. Maybe my cats bump the mouse in the evening and it wakes up forever)

    With an OLED this contributes to pretty bad burn in. I tried telling it to turn the screen off after one minute, with no effect….

    Any tips? I once setup some scripts to force sleep, but that really doesn’t seem the right solution here.

    I do have windows hello enabled, but even disabling that doesn’t seem to help. It happens both on a lock screen and when I leave it alone on the desktop.

    Thanks for any tips

    Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
  • That’s true, I just wonder if open source changes anything, legally. Unless one term of the breakup is “will not contribute to chromium”

    Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
  • I think the poster is making a good point though- In this split, google the advertising company can freely contribute to the open source chromium. You need some model that leads the chromium maintainer to reject changes like this.

  • I bought the wallpapers, but while I’d like to store them all for later I really don’t want to manually click and download 27+*3 wallpapers (per device)

    Anyone know of a good quick way to grab them all at once?

    I got myself a tungsten nozzle, thinking it would last forever…

    Today I tried to clean it with a needle (learning after about many suggestions not to do so) and the needle snapped inside the nozzle, quickly fusing to the clog…

    I’ve tried blasting it with a kitchen torch, without success at loosening this thing. Any tips?

    Thanks!
